Removed the following from the article until it can be sourced. It's uncited and appears to be original research. This is a very unconventional use of the term landrace. Cannabis landraces do occur but sativa, indica, and ruderals are names at either the species or subspecies rank, whereas landraces are at the variety or form rank. Sativa and Indica have broad geographical distribution in a variety of ecosystem types, and no botanist would refer to them as landraces. Ruderalis is sometimes described as feral hemp and this usage may describe a landrace. Chondrite 02:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

For more details on this topic, see Cannabis.

The genus Cannabis consists of three landraces that are geographically isolated: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and Cannabis ruderalis. Botanists often refer to these three cannabis landrace as separate species or subspecies types.
